Chinese cookie?

[felinementality]

I am looking for a name and a recipe for a sesame covered slightly sweet, hollow centered 'ball' of cooked dough i used to get from a chinese buffet. anyone got any ideas?

Are they like the ones you get at Chinese New Year? There is a recipe for Jin Dui (chinese seseme cookies) here: http://www.theholidayspot.com/chinese_new_year/recipes/#jindui

Could it be BUCHI? This is made of rice flour dough rolled in sesame seeds and deep fried. The filling can be made of yellow/black mung bean paste or lotus seed paste. Buchi is the name used in Chinese restos in the Philippines. Not sure what it's called in other Chinese dialects.

FYI, that is like the recipe I just posted...

Ya Grumblebee. Just read your link. Sounds like it. I'm surprised it's referred to as cookie. It's more like puff really.
